Hint: There is no recovery. The unemployment and wage situation in America continues to deteriorate, government is paying more in compensation now than ever before, private business is paying much less, the US government is borrowing record amounts of money, the Fed is keeping interest rates low, and the Obama administration is crafting a new round of bailouts and stimulus to the tune of at least $200 billion.

We’re broke people! You can onlyÂ print money with absolutely nothing to back up its value for so long and have it retain any value.Â You can only run up your debt load so far before even the interest on the debt becomes unsustainable. We, as a country, are way beyond these points on both counts. We are sooooo hosed peeps!! The only reason that the economy hasn’s colapsed completely is because most Americans are too stupid to realize what a sad and sorry state of affairs we as a country are honestly in.

It’s OK though; just go and watch some more ‘reality’ TV and everything will be better soon.

ROTFLMAO!Â Its that or cry, because you’re absolutley right.Â My boyfriend,Â a die hard O-Bot, justified his Messiah’s rabid spending by saying It doesn’t matter WHERE the money comes from!”Â This man is almost 60 years old,Â and is an engineer who retired from the Space Shuttle program 2 years ago.Â He also has an MBA.Â I’ve given up trying to warn him about what’s coming.Â Even when the SHTF, he’ll still be in denial, blaming President Bush.Â Oh well, good thing he’s a nice enough guy so long as politics, or reality for that matter, doesn’t come up.

Chuckles, “Those job losses will be coming with the six month moratoriumÂ on offshore drilling. Thanks to the doofus in chief!”Â I am sorry, but i want to cry everyday because of the dead sea life and the toxins the people living in the gulf coast now have to live with.Â Shall we make matters worse by increasing drilling when there is not technology to support it?Â I don’t think you have enough education or information to call anyone a “doofus.”

Bea you must be a supporter of his eminence since I obviously hurt your widdle feelings talking bad about him. The reason we are drilling offshore is because environmental nuts have a fit about drilling on land. And even if we stop drilling offshore, other countries are still drilling offshore so there is still a risk of spills happening. There isn’t a magic bubble that will protect us because we aren’t doing the drilling.

Chuckles,Â I just think comments on blogs are more interesting when name calling isn’t involved; and a wise use of our technology, rather than shoot first ask questions later approach may save some lives….

I suppose tho, it is easier to attack my feelings and Obama’s intellect than to write something meaningful.

The closing paragraph tells it all in my opinion. I have to say that I agree with it, and probably the most wonderful factor about it’s that you just left it open ended…this reveals that you’re prepared to attract in new and different opinions and that you’re ultimately very interested to see individuals getting concerned in the subject. So, any different opinions?
